One Line Review: Sarkaru Vaari Paata is a routine, exaggerated action flick that throws a ‘message’ as always at the viewers.
Introduction
Mahesh looks refreshing and fine like wine in Sarkaru Vaari Paata, but is that enough to make the whole package good?

Review
Teaser of Sarkaru Vaari Paata promised a stylish looking Mahesh Babu in action. The trailer promised his unique way of dialogue delivery and mannerisms but also earning a big frown due to exaggerated action sequences which obviously looked super-unnecessary.
Coming to the movie, it is old, boring, routine with a good performance by Mahesh Babu. Why not just stick to the plot, avoid illogical sequences, execute clean and deliver something neat? Why is it so hard? Or is the notion behind such a project to make something bad? That’s how it feels though.
How did Mahi got to develop a finance company in the US? No answer. Why is Kalavathi so smitten and ready to even play with a man for money when her dad is affectionate and rich? No answer. How come a boat goes flying in an action sequences?! Err….
Even though the movie is made with a notion to deliver a message, to expose banks and how banks along with the community are affected due to big loans made by the powerful biggies in the society, everything falls apart due to the loud, noisy, routine mix of film-making.
Conclusion
An avoidable movie that has nothing unique to offer.
